CLUB ONCE RAIDED CLOSED TO POLICE Wolf Brothers Open Resort Again, but Order Officers to Stay Away "No policemen need Is the ultimatum issued to Chief of Police "White by Wolf Brothers, proprietors of the incorporated club at 88 Ellis street. Their ultimatum raises the question of the legality of the methods employed by Captain Mooney and Chief White of closing the incorporated gambling clubs. Wolf Brothers' place is one of those raided by the police two weeks ago last night.

The case was dismissed in the police court on the ground that there was not sufficient evidence to convict. Meantime Captain Mooney had ordered Wolf Brothers, like the proprietors of the other clubs alleged to be merely gambling clubs, to put padlocks on their door and keep it closed. This Wolf Brothers now refuse to do. Yesterday they notified Chief White that they intended to keep the club that it would be closed to the police officers, and any who applied for admittance would be refused. Chief White took the matter up with Judge Deasy and applied for search warrants.

The Judge issued two such warrants to two different officers. The attempt to serve these will create, a test case, upon which will hinge the right of the police to raid the incorporated clubs and order them kept closed.

But some one tipped Sobey off and he escaped from the house, swam the Russian river and departed hastily for Mexico. He stayed in Mexico until July 1, when he returned to the state, stopping in Oakland.

After remaining a few days in Oakland he came across the bay and stayed at Mrs. Jeanette Wynkoop's house, 1539 Webster street, three or four days. When he left he took with him, it is said, a diamond ring valued at $250. Mrs. Wynkoop reported the theft to the police, and last night Detective George Cashel arrested Sobey in Richmond and locked him up In the city Jail here.

Wilfred Sobey is the son of a prominent San Francisco physician. THEFT OF LOVE LETTERS REVEALS MAN'S WIFE Harvey E.

GRADE CROSSINGS TOO DANGEROUS Railroad Commission Will Work to Eliminate Every One Where Possible As the result of recent fatal accidents at grade crossings, the railroad commission yesterday made known its intention to insist upon further safeguards in the operation of railroads in this state. The elimination of grade crossings, where possible, is part of the commission's general plan for safety in operation. The announcement given out by the commission follows: "What a few years ago were deemed unsurmountable obstacles to an under grade or over grade crossing are now treated as only engineering difficulties, which skill and capital can generally overcome. It is, therefore, the settled policy of this commission when one railroad desires to cross another, or where it is desired that the highway cross a railroad or vice versa, to require such crossing to be made by a subway or overhead crossing whenever and wherever it Is practicable and feasible so to do." This decision was called forth by an application from the board of supervisors of Santa Clara county for a grade crossing embracing an extension of Palo Alto avenue over the tracks of the Southern Pacific company.

The commission after an investigation directed that the extension of Palo Alto avenue shall pass under the tracks of the Southern Pacific. The cost will be approximately $27,000. The cost of one of the approaches will borne by the city of Palo Alto, and the cost of the other approach will be borne by Santa Clara county. The commission has no power compel the city of Palo Alto, or the county of Santa Clara to make the payments mentioned, and the order therefore, states that unles the join in making and financing the under grade crossing, the aplication for an under grade crossing will be dismissed.

Thin People Can Increase Weight Thin men and women who would like to increase their weight with 10 or 15 pounds of healthy "stay there" fat should try eating a little Sargol with their meals for a while and note results. Here Is a good test worth trying.

First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take tablet with every meal two weeks. Then weigh and measure again. It isn't a question of how you look or feel or what your friends say and think. The scales and the tape measure will tell their own btory, and most any thin man or woman can easily add from five to eight pounds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direction.

And best of all, the new flesh stays put. Sargol does not of itself make fat, but mixing with your food, it turns the fats, sugars and starches of what you have eaten into rich, ripe, fat producing nourishment for the tissues and blood it in an easily assimilated form which the blood can readily accept. All this nourishment now passes from your body as' waste. But Sargol stops the waste and does it quickly and makes the fat producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds of healthy flesh between your skin and bones. Sargol is safe, pleasant, efficient and Inexpensive.

Druggists sell it' in large forty tablets to a a guarantee of weight increase or money back.
